People lets not forget wat the topic is all about - igbo marginalization.
People from other tribes are always quick to deny this. They sometimes back up their claims with allegation that igbo people are the cause of their problems But all that is either lie or half truth.
Igbo's have never been fully been forgiven since we lost the civil war and any government that came up ever since has been playing out this unwritten laws against the igbo nation. Lets forget the fact that sometimes, some crooked politicians of Igbo extractions have been close enough to the ruling class and ususally have their own gain and nothing else in mind. But one thing is still obvious all these igbo politicians are like any other selfish human beings who also exists in other tribes therefore it is quite unfair and hypocritical to say that igbos are the cause of their problems. We have such people in yoruba and in hausa. The good ones (igbos) are not allowed to come close to ruling this nation. Why did IBB and others made sure that Ekwueme did not come close in '99. Even when it was obvious that Obasanjo is not the right choice in 2003, the hausa nad yoruba nation reconciled quickly to edge out Ekwueme again when it was obvious that he is the only candidate fro PDP.
Federal Infrastructural development in igbo land is shameful. Everytime we hear about reconstruction/rehabilitation of roads in the country. Check them out, its either in the north or west or an already awarded but abandoned contract in the east. For many years now the government have been planning to dredge the river niger, yet, Second Niger bridge? An aberration! Believe it or not, there is an unwritten hate policy against the igbo in this nation. Checkout the military, how many igbo generals do we have. How can they trust igbo man with the highest military post.

Some people will also want to tell me that igbo is least in population. Another government lie. Any town or city in this country have igbo population as the second largest. The census will not like to disclose this and thats why they wont include tribe in the counting. Lagos is Over 7 million, tell me how many yoruba and how many igbos? Kano is even more. But they wont tell you how many igbos in sabon gari. go to Abuja, maiduguri and else where. Its all igbo. Yes thats because we travel. We are the most travelled people in the country.

I have more to say but whatever I say i will be telling u that igbos are marginalised.

By the way, I heard that Igbo language is no longer a major language in the country. Is that true? I cant confirm it yet.

Its happening again in NTA like it happened in the Tail end of Abacha days. NTA showed Nigerians how creative they can be with computer animations. They turned Abacha's military cap to civillian one, they only provide us with news of people who supported Abacha for civillian President. They told the whole world that Nigerians will die for Abacha. They said all sorts of thing.  When it all happened as God wanted it. They came up with the story of how Abacha's men censored their programmings.
Now its happening again. We are only seeing news of how the people supported Third Term. What do we believe now. Is there some cencorship going on? They should tell us. Or do we have to conclude? My question remains, do we still have faith on NTA?

have we all forgotten EVE? Dat gal is HOT!! Check out the legs and the lips, shes hot.

We can help you decrypt FTA channels here.

I need a gamil acoount plz, can someone iuvite me plz. biggjoe24@yahoo.com i 'd be very very grateful

I tot there 'd be some people like me here who likes TV so much but can't afford DSTV.  Free-to air satellite TV is an option.
The Tv channels u will have to receive depends on the size of dish you're using and also the satellite u faced your dish to. You have the choice of Ku band which usually needs the 90cm dish(dstv size) but the number of stations u will receive wont be much. If you're using 1.8m or 2.5m dish u will need C-band lnbf and that means more stations. Depending on the satellite,it can be as much as 40 to 80 channels for 1.8 and 2.5 m dish respectively. You have to bear in mind that what you're using is free-to-air and not pay Tv so the type of channels u might receive will not be the best but they will be worh it. You will be Glad u did at the long run.

I 'd adsvise u try FTA. All u need is just the money for the equipments, VIZ: Dish, LNBF, Receiver (Decoider), and Rf cables. Its cheaper than u can imagine. A 90cm dish (DSTV) size costs only 6,000 naira. A dual KU band LNBF for the 90cm dish is only 1,500 naira and the receiver(decoder) is only 13,000 naira. A roll of Rf cable is 900 naira, and thats all you need for a Ku band FTA reception.

For 1.8cm dish C-band reception, your dish will cost 10,000 naira and the C-band LNB costs 2,500 naira. If u want 2.5m dish (the black net type) the only difference is in the dish and it costs just 24,000 naira. You will use the same Lnb with that of 1.8cm.

With C-band dish, there are a lot of choices u have depending on the satellite u face your dish to. Currently im using an 1.8m dish which is installed both a c-band lnb and attached a ku BAND lnbf by the side enablin it to get reception from to satellites, PAS 10 and intelsat 902 both in the east.
Dont go to people who are into the installation business they will not give them to u for the above prices. Just go to any major electonics market in your city to get them. Like Alaba international in Lagos or Iweka road in Onitsha.

Installation is easy. Just assemble the dish with the manual, mount the LNB/F on the dish and connect the Rf cable to it and then connect the end of the cable to your receiver(decoder). connect the Video and audio outputs from the receiver to the appropriate ports of your TV.
You are ready to start; put on everything (TV and receiver) with the remote control, go to the installation menu of your receiver and put in the TP frequency and Symbol rate of the channel in the satellite u wish to locate. (Some websites where u can get these frequencies for free abound,the most popul;ar is www.lyngsat.com ) when you're sure u have put in the correct TP and SR, go to your dish which u must have positioned in the mounting pole and start turning. with your primary geography u should know where is east and west. If the satellite is in the east face your dish in the east. Dont adjust the elevation of the dish for now. (elevation is the up and down movement of the dish). Just make the dish stand parallel to your mounting pole. Now start adjusting the azimuth (azimuth is the side by side movement of the dish). Move form one side of the east to the other. if posible start from west . while you're doing this your eyes must be fixed at the installation menu being displayed by now on your Tv. If your Lnb/f is good, if u move the  dish slowly from east to west, there must be a point at which the signal strenght will rise sharply. Try to move back and forth to locate this point. when u have done that. Screw the bolt that controls that azimuth movement and then go to the one that controls the elevation movement. Slowly again move the dish upwards until it gets to a point where the signal strength will rise very well. Thats is the position of the satellite you're lookin for. Remember if u have equipment that locates satellite (spectrum analyzer) u don't need all the stress.

When u compare these prices with that of DSTV u will understand what u have to gain bearing in mind that u do not have to pay anybody for anything ever!

For those of us who will be ticking to ask, im not selling the equipments nor in business of installation . So I have nothing to gain in all this. I'm just giving back what I have learnt for free. I have gained more than this in nairaland. But if you have any problem in installation and think u might need help, just holla me.
